The Holy Prophet(pbuh) was born on Monday, the 20th of April, 571 A.D, in Mecca of Saudi Arabia. He was brought up by his mother, and after her death, at 8 years old, was looked after by his uncle Abu Talib who treated him with great care and affliction. He displayed an acute moral sensitivity and an early age and became to be known as Al-Amin( the trusted one). Thomas Carlyle(1841) in his Heroes and Hero Worship says, “Muhammad was a man of truth and fidelity, true in what he did, in what he spoke, in what he thought. He was with great taciturnity, but when he spoke it was with emphasis and deliberation, and no one could forget what he said.” Prophet Muhammad, by the age of twenty four was well know around the Arabian peninsula as an honorable man and trader; a characteristic that most Meccans lacked.
Impact on Islamic civilization in the field of faith Islam came with the faith of monotheism in the middle of a society and a world that was rife with polytheism and idolatry. Islam said that Allah is the only God and He was far above any physical characteristics or shortcomings. Islam liberated man from worshipping anyone but Allah, Exalted be He. Islam gave no room to any mediator or priest to act between man and Allah. As soon as the world, particularly during the era of European renaissance, knew this pure faith, “the followers of every religion started to provide explanation for polytheism, or aspects of polytheism and idolatry and their customs and traditions, which existed in their religious system.

He also developed an interest in history and geography that would stay with him for the rest of his life. When Marco was only six years old, his father Niccolò and his uncle Maffeo left for a journey to Cathay (China).
And therefore Islam becomes not only a religion but an ideology. Although the law is considered divine, because tradition dictates that it was delivered to the Arabs by the Abrahamic God that Muslims refer to as Allah through a prophet, Islam spread so rapidly over an area rich in culture in a time that communication was not as quick and easy as it is in our present day era that it is arguable to suggest that Shari’a Law may not be entirely divine as it is believed. For the purpose of this essay I feel it important to accept certain paradigms; that the Quran is divine, that Allah exists, and that Muhammed was his final prophet. “The first source of Shari’a Law has to be the Quran” Watton. According to Muslim belief, The Quran was given to the world by Prophet Muhammed, whom received divine revelations known as Sura’s.

Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, it came to prominence in the 7th century when Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) received revelation from God. Islam is a monotheistic religion and its followers are known as Muslims. According to the Islamic tradition, the angel Gabriel appeared before the prophet during one of his spiritual retreats and revealed him messages from Allah over the span of the next 20 years. In Islam, Muslims recognize some Prophets from other religions such as Moses and Jesus, whom they consider from the same one true god Allah.
